Connections Answer for January 3
Are you still stuck with the puzzle? In that case, the answers to today’s Connections are:
- MOVE THROUGH THE AIR – Float, Fly, Glide, Soar
- HIDDEN LISTENING DEVICES – Bug, Mike, Tap, Wire
- SELECT, AS A BOX ON A FORM – Check, Mark, Tick, X
- RAPPER MINUS FIRST LETTER – 40, Cole, Pain, Tip
Thankfully, the NYT Connections puzzle for January 3 was very easy to get through. Like Superman, I soared through the Yellow category without any problems, as these were the only flying terms here. I then moved on to the Blue section and ticked all those boxes just as easily.
I’ve seen All the President’s Men more than enough times to identify the word Bug out of a lineup. With that, I had the Green category very quickly, too.
As always, the Purple category was left for last. And thank God it was because I have no idea about rapping. So I got those words together, and with that, I had the NYT Connections puzzle, too.
